XENIA, Ohio (WDTN) - Some workers at a Greene County restaurant are in hot water with the health department, after an employee took a bubble bath in a store sink.
It happened at the Burger King on Orange Street in Xenia.
A four-minute video posted on MySpace captured the employee, self-described as Mr. Unstable, bathing nude in a large stainless steel sink as several other employees and a store manager looked on.
The video began making its rounds on the Internet Monday morning. One of the recipients was Greene County Health Commissioner, Mark McDonnell.
"My first thought was oh my god," said McDonnell.
McDonnell immediately sent staff to restaurant to investigate the numerous health code violations.
He said the restaurant was aware of the incident and had already taken steps to clean up, including disposing of all the utensils and sanitizing the sink twice.

I do not eat at Burger King, and surely will not now. Do they not have an emergency shower for some kind of accident, in case some needs to wash off from a spill ? I know when I worked in the restaurants I was at, we had them, right in the mop room.

Really what you have to take away from this is that it was perfectly fine (the store manager watched on) the only real error was recording a video of it and putting it up on Myspace.

I think some of the more serious health code violations should bring criminal charges.

If it makes people sick I don't know why it wouldn't. I mean if you did something to someone's food to make them sick and you weren't working for a restaurant it would.

It did say all the people who were involved in that were fired, which is the right thing to do. But all the cooperation did is say they had taken care of it and sanitized the equipment, should of been a public apology someplace, even though I know they can not control the actions of their employees, in the end they are responsible.
